Took an abbreviated walk, so as to be back by 9:30. Had a nice coffee, and picked up a prescription at CVS.
I had been given a tech squad job to help one of my 6th floor neighbors, Cindy, handle a video doctor call. We worked through it, got the call successfully started, and I left her at it.
The bulk of the day I spent in the auditorium again. Today was allocated for AV teamers to have solo hour-long shots to play with the equipment. I mostly hung out, kibitzing and sometimes helping to figure things out. First the Morse couple, John and Francis, spent two hours rehearsing her upcoming First Monday Book Talk. She practiced her talk while John worked to get all the tech right.
After lunch David M. worked through the process of running a zoom meeting. Then Kass came down and I supervised her as she took the system from cold, to a complete meeting with speaker slides and all. She took lots of notes. One more supervised event and she will be able to solo.
This week, the weekly live stream from SFJazz was The Manhattan Transfer, a famous singing group. I decided this would be good enough to share, so in the middle of the day I put out a note on the bulletin board that I would be running this concert on the 11th floor TV at 7:30 if anyone wanted to stop by.
This turned out to be a success. The music was great, really fun, and the image, streamed on to the 80-inch TV, looked great. About a dozen people showed up and everyone was very pleased and thanked me for doing that.
